feat: Support registering activities with custom name

[javier-aliaga]

Description

This PR allow to register activities with a custom name. This is useful in case you want to reuse activities or want to give more meaningful name to the activity, it also allow using anonymous classes (currently not supported as we are using canonical names to register and anonymous classes return null)

    builder.registerActivity(FirstActivity.class);
    builder.registerActivity("a",FirstActivity.class);
    builder.registerActivity("b",FirstActivity.class);
    builder.registerActivity("d", new WorkflowActivity() {
      @Override
      public Object run(WorkflowActivityContext ctx) {
        TestWorkflowPayload workflowPayload = ctx.getInput(TestWorkflowPayload.class);
        workflowPayload.getPayloads().add("Anonymous Activity");
        return workflowPayload;
      }
    });

Javi, without the intention of slowing things down, I find it odd to do this at registration time, as the same activity can be used in different workflows with different names, so I would just do this at runtime, instead of registration. I might not have the full context if you have discussed this with the team. Registering the same activity with multiple names also looks odd to me - Blog: http://salaboy.com <http://salaboy.wordpress.com> - Github user: http://github.com/salaboy - Twitter: http://twitter.com/salaboy - Mauricio "Salaboy" Salatino -

Mmmmmm, @salaboy , let me see I think I can go a bit further and do it

[javier-aliaga]

ey @salaboy I am recovering this PR as it introduces new benefits to the sdk. Not only you can name classes it also allows using anonymous classes to register activities.
